Note: Persons who were born outside of the United States or one of its territories must send a copy of (or present in person) proof of citizenship or alien status. This is a one-time requirement.

Not convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence. 6. Not under court order (i.e. order of protection, harassment, etc.) 7. Not a fugitive from justice. 8.

First time and renewal concealed weapon permit applications are processed by Department of Public Safety Criminal Records Specialists. The application data is entered into our CCW database. Background criminal history checks are performed utilizing several systems:

Arizona Criminal Justice Information System (ACJIS) National Crime Information Center (NCIC) Arizona Crime information Center (ACIC) National Instant Background Check System (NICS) Interstate Identification Index (III) Automatic Fingerprint Information System (AFIS) Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI)

Our policy is to deny a concealed weapon permit to an applicant due to any disqualifiers in accordance to U.S. Federal (18 U.S.C. ? 922) and Arizona State (ARS ?13-3112). If no disqualifying criminal history record is found, the concealed weapon permit is issued contingent on the FBI background check based on the submitted fingerprints.

By Mail - AZ DPS has issued permit/licenses by mail. The big thing is the Training. Below are the

requirements for training. If you meet any of those contact the AZ DPS and order the application. Fill it out and send the required documents and they will issue by mail. I have been told this by two people who have obtained an AZ permit/license using just their DD 214 from their military service.

CO Non Resident Permit/License is Valid in: AK, AL, AR, AZ, CO, DE, GA, IA, ID, IN, KS, KY, LA, MO, MS, MT, NC, NE, NM, OH, OK, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WI, WY

18-12-203. Criteria for Obtaining a Permit.

(a) Is a legal resident of the state of Colorado. For purposes of this part 2, a person who is a member of the armed forces and is stationed pursuant to permanent duty station orders at a military installation in this state, and a member of the person's immediate family living in Colorado, shall be deemed to be a legal resident of the state of Colorado.

Note: If you are in the military and are stationed in Colorado you and your immediate family are

considered residents of CO and can obtain a CO permit/license to carry.

Note: Also I noted this on the Application form that the Sherriff's of Colorado put out.

On the Application that all the Sheriff's in Colorado will accept there is an ** on the block that wants this info: **Colorado County of Residence. At the bottom of the fill in part the ** has this out from it: **If not a Colorado resident, please explain in a separate attachment why you need a permit and identify any property or business you own in Colorado.

Colorado law states only "Residents" but with this on the application it looks to me like if you own a business or property and can give a good reason for a CO permit they may issue you one. Check with the Sheriff of the County you own property in.

Non-Residents: Non Residents check "Here" on how to apply and additional Information. Cost is $70.00. DPS posts these Instructions for how to apply. I found the instructions hard to understand. You will find phone numbers and email address to contact the Connecticut DPS by clicking on Instructions above. I have found Connecticut to be shall Issue though their law says they may issue. As long as you meet the criteria they will issue you a permit.

CT is no longer listing the Application form on their web site but the old link still works to the application as in the first part of this section. I would call them. The cost has also double for Resident and Non Resident permits. This is what they say on their website.

*Application for State Permit to Carry Pistol and Revolvers can be obtained at one of the Pistol Permit locations listed on the instruction sheet DPS-769-C or you can call (860) 685-8290 to have an application sent to you.

The DC Metro Police have posted Instructions on How to Apply and an Application that can be printed. The How to Apply document is very wordy but you need to read all of it before applying.

Note: Under the "License to Carry a Pistol Temporary Amendment Act of 2014" DC will issue to Non

Residents. You must meet the same requirements as a resident and also have a permit/license issued by any state.

States in Red only honor the Idaho Enhanced Permit.

Idaho will issue permits to non residents. You can contact the Sheriff's Departments listed above. Handgunlaw.us recommends you contact a Sheriff and ask them if they will issue to NonResidents as some will not. All Idaho Sheriffs we talked to either made you come to the office to obtain the application or would mail you one you could mail back. Processing of the application and background check takes about 90 days but had to come in person to pick it up.
